/castsequence conditions

[shaeman]

I have had three macros on my lock, bound to 3 separate keys for the longest time.

The macros are almost identical just changing the curse that is used.

e.g (not the actual macros but working from memory very similar)

/castsequence [reset=24,dead,target] Curse Of Agony, corruption, siphon life, drain life, drain life, shoot

/castsequence [reset=24,dead,target] Curse Of Tongues, corruption, siphon life, drain life, drain life, shoot

/castsequence [reset=24,dead,target] Curse Of Weakness, corruption, siphon life, drain life, drain life, shoot

I was looking to make this into one macro - and could use a modifier to do so. The problem is that I'm lazy. I don't want to have to hold the alt down to continue the castsequence.

e.g If i were to use the alt modifier for example which would do curse of tongues instead of agony I would want to let go of shift and mash the cast sequence button and have corruption, sihon life, drain life etc go off on subsequence presses.

However I think what would happen would be, it would do curse of tongues, then when I let go of shift would do Curse of agony (overwriting tongues) and continue.

So what I'm asking is there a way to do something like

/castsequence [reset=24,dead,target] [modifier:alt]Curse of Tongues [Modifier:none]Curse of agony, corruption, siphon life, drain life, drain life,shoot

I know the alternative is to have a separate macro that does the curse,then have the rest of my cast sequence on another macro, but it defeats the one key pressing approach.

tthe closest I can get is: (untested, written in work)

/cast [mod:alt] Curse of Tongues
/cast [mod:shift] Curse of Agony 
/castsequence [nomod] reset=24 corruption, siphon life, drain life, drain life,shoot

Djarid,

that's elegant and simple. You know it's a work of genius when you look at something and think why didn't I think of that, it seems so obvious now.

Thank you.

[Djarid]

you're welcome... btw you might want to add combat/target to the reset attributes

and I think I may modify my dots macro along the same lines

I recommend trying to put a Life Tap in your macro someplace. Especially if you are affliction. I use a similar macro with my warlock and that keeps me from ever having to drink or eat.

Djarid,

My macro does have the reset on combat/target (just couldnt remember the syntax). considering in pvp and pve how much I tab target and multi dot it was essential.

Coltimar,

I did have lifetap in there before, however I changed it so that I have control of lifetap outside of the macro. As i used to pvp alot, I didnt want anything that would reduce my health in the midst of combat....unless absolutely necessary. I normally dont use the full cycle of the macro. In pvp I stop at the corruption, and I'm either tabbing to a new target, or spamming searing pain on one target before shadowburning (and or deathcoiling and or instant shadowbolting when it procs).
